Current concern is placement. This is my first trachy (baby) in an IM Nuvo 10g, center of tank, glued to a rock that is pushed down into the sand, but trachy still slightly above the sand line. AI Prime 16HD above it with diffuser on Saxby/AB+ modified schedule. Flow has some swirl in the middle but not enough to raise a sand storm. This is also my most expensive coral to date. Want to get this right the first time!

How is placement for this guy? Does it need to be further into the sand? Out of center? More direct flow instead of circular flow around it? Thanks!



 
Can’t see any video on my phone
Best placement is at or near bottom under moderate light and water flow
Feed mysis shrimp 2x per week and assure sand isn’t getting all over it

Thanks! I have been broadcasting oyster feast 3x per week (MWF) and occasionally spot feeding the oyster feast. Mysis coming in this week along with Coral Feast Ova, so will start with 2x target feeds per week. Links below if you still want to see vids.


Ps, is that octospawn looking OK with the flow?
 
I buy 1 pound frozen raw shrimp at Target for 6 bucks. Cut off and thaw a 1/4 in piece and feed in the morning when feeders are out on the Trachy.You may need to spot feed a smaller piece??? I don't know,because I can't see your pictures.

This is a little little one why I suggest mysis
Larger foods come later
